OMG

Rebecca

Oh my God, I've got it! Hannelore is learning to handle bullshit! :claireface:

Evgeniy Semyonov

Hey, wait a minute. Mr. S has a nose ring. Do yaks or bison or musk oxen get those?

Holly Nelson

I am amused that even the creator of the comic doesn’t know where she is

Brian

No visible tan lines. Has Hannelore been engaging in nude sunbathing? THAT would be a huge step for her.

Philip D Jones

Hmm... Could we get a bonus comic featuring Hanners screaming after shoveling the latrine out?

Now I have a Billy Idol ear worm. Thank you. :P

Oh sure, throw out the poor lonely baby Tapir for the yak (musk ox?) NO LOYALTY, Hanners... :P <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-comic-his-17465149">https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-comic-his-17465149</a>

I've spent a ton of time this year (hundreds of hours) tutoring high school students in Math (I'm considering a career change to teaching). The greatest challenge is NOT the Math! It's getting the students to trust their own thinking, to have the courage to work the problem instead of being paralyzed with fear or doubt. To be willing to make a mistake! With the goal being for them to develop the skills to FIND and FIX their mistakes. Most of us don't learn much from success: Failure is by far the far better teacher, but only if we are willing to fail, to take that risk and brave the empty page. I *LOVE* it when students make mistakes! It makes it so easy for me to zero in on the missing skill. What's worst for me is when a student leaves a problem totally blank, without even an attempt at working toward the solution. That's the only time I "imply" blunt force trauma.

The old Hannelore would have been freaking out about skin cancer before she even got NEAR a latrine.

Danya Michael

Mr. Snuffles is a musk ox, and she’s combing his luxurious quviut. As anyone would.

Holly Nelson

Now I’m crushing on Hannelore. AGAIN!

Philip D Jones

Tan-elore apparently!

Mr. Snuffleapocalypse

Summer Sudbrink

I was about to post the same thing!

Andrew Diseker

I like that she's got a major tan, the contrast shows how little she used to go outside

I love Momo helping Marigold get in line. I love that Hanelore is doing great. She seems to have fun!

Bagge

She could be in Mongolia- grassy steppe/hills combination, it gets hot in the summer (towards the Gobi, at least), they have yaks...

Hugh Eckert

Whatever it's designation it's adorable!

Patrick Jackson

I think that might be a bison. ;)

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

What. The heck.

Flounder

Wow, go Hanners!

LJ

Well, of course she is! She's standing in broad daylight in the middle of a semi-arid steppe desert and... Oh... Oh, sorry you mean HOT, not 'hot'. Got it.

Ben Russell-Gough

I'd pay into that Patreon.

Zach Elwyn

Hannelore is in a holodeck simulation of winston's design in orbit. The Yak was very difficult to bring up to the space station.

Jordan

Hannelore is hot! 🔥🔥🌋😁

Joseph McGrath

That does it, this strip is now exclusively about the adventures of Hannelore and Mr Snuffles.

Dean Reilly

It's nice when two friends are yakking to each other over the phone. :3

Thomas Boys

Go Momo!

Patrick Mac Manus

I miss Hannelore too. I'm glad she has a lovely Yak friend.

Patrick Jackson

He was last seen with Melon... I am concerned.

Andrew

She said that she needed to get a handle on herself when she left. I think that she's doing just that!

Ben Russell-Gough

I'm pretty sure that Beatrice asked Dr John to make her 'a perfect daughter'. The problem is that all the engineering and optimisation of her genome led to lots of neural malformation that is the physical root of her behavioural issues.

Ben Russell-Gough

I wonder if it can help with the papers and the trash

Autistic Observer

Well, it seems like Marigold hasn't changed much: Still passive and looking for other people to fix her problems for her. She also STILL needs Momo to drive her to do things that she wants to do anyway! As for Hannelore, she's growing in so many ways. I mean, I doubt that she could even get close to a large, outdoors-living bovine before this. I strongly suspect that, when she returns from her voyage, she will be unrecognisable and I'm not just talking about the tan!

Ben Russell-Gough

If that doesn't qualify as immersion therapy I don't know what does.

Dylan T

Adventure Hannelore is Best Hannelore. I would pay All The Money for a long-form Adventure Hanners comic..

Dave Cochran

Dammit Jeph, why did you have to go and make Hannelore hotter? Unf.

Everett Bradshaw

Wait, miss "I don't touch things coz germs" is doing anything latrine related?

Unanimous D

I love the way Momo helps Marigold. The threat of blunt force trauma was NEVER clearly stated, but definitely implied in Momo's stance and tone of voice.

Read that in Ron Perlman's voice.

Megan

I don't know how long Hannelore has been gone, but she's tanned, toned, and mentally capable of doing a lot of things she wasn't before. Makes me wonder if she isn't the product of genetic engineering.

Brent Catherman

Three more things: 1. I’m imagining she’s in Mongolia. 2. Momo saying “dang”. 3. Will Hannelore get such a handle on her phobias that she can eventually has a physical intimate relationship with someone?

Populuxe

Yak. Yak never changes.

Brian English

I love how much Hannelore has grown. When I go back I read the backstory about her childhood that Station told Marten, it’s extraordinary to see that formerly terrified and nearly non-functional little girl has grown into this kick-ass self-assured adventurer, someone in control of her life.

Populuxe

I empathize with Marigold. Phones are SCARY.

Erin Hartshorn

Speaking of calling people... Anyone heard from Steve lately?

BobC

It's always good to have a little mo' Momo.

BobC

That yackety-yak didn't talk back!

BobC

They have those buffalo and rolling hills in northern lower Michigan, although I don’t know of anyone up there who uses a latrine that would need to be shoveled out.

awgiedawgie

Nah... she was firm with Marigold long before May showed up.

awgiedawgie

i love and miss hanners

Great tan Hanners!

MikeT

Momo seems to have taken a page from May’s book...

Will Weaver

Aah! Tannelore!

Paz Eliastra

Such a contrast with when we saw her confront her mother, and I wondered if one day she'd change her name to Alice and protect a little village...

gatherer818

Yay for a little bit o’ Hanners!

ducksauz

Hi Hanners! Missed you!

Al Hunt

Another peek at the wanderings and goings-on of my favorite character. &lt;3

Tim Eldred

Hanners come back! If not for Mari, then for me!

I miss hanners, always excited when we get to check in with her :)

Super-agree!

Shawn K. Younkin

Quite the nice tan, and damn those hips are nice

Kyle Major

Hanners looks fantastic -- rested, tanned, and content. That's really nice to see.

Celine Chamberlin

That's a weird eagle

Brian Ellingboe

Hello Tanners.

Luzahn

That is the most impeccable tan. Also seeing her touching such a large animal without freaking out makes me obscenely proud.

Samantha Yeaman

What personal growth!!!

Alex Mullenix

it looks like a buffalo

The Shadow's Lair

Probably Mongolia which is cool because they have these awesome yurts!

Miyaa

Dammmmm Hannelore
